REPORT OF THE SPECIAL COMMISSION ON 
TEACHERS' SALARIES. 



Teacher Shortage in the United States. 

The war and conditions growing out of the war have made 
large inroads upon the teaching force in the public schools of 
this country. Government service and private commercial and 
industrial establishments, suddenly offering largely increased 
wages, have attracted many teachers from the schools, and the 
rapidly mounting cost of living has forced others to abandon 
teaching. A large loss of teachers was thus sustained before 
the public had become sufficiently aroused to grant the in- 
creases in salaries necessary to stay the exodus. Furthermore, 
the many new opportunities offering lucrative wages to young 
men and women without any special training attracted many 
students from the normal schools, and turned aside many from 
considering teaching as a life work. 

The Secretary of the Interior has reported that 143,000 out 
of approximately 650,000 teachers in the United States resigned 
last year on account of inadequate wages; and the United 
States Commissioner of Education recently announced that 
20,000 schools involving 500,000 pupils are closed for lack of 
teachers, and 40,000 schools are supplied with teachers below 
the minimum standard of proficiency. 

When one considers in this connection the decrease of about 
30 per cent in the enrollment of the normal schools, the largest 
single source of supply of trained teachers, it becomes clear 
that there is a very real emergency facing the schools of this 
country. Furthermore, this emergency comes at a time when 
the demands made upon the public schools have been greatly 
enlarged as a result of the needs revealed by the war. 

Supply of Teachers in Massachusetts. 
The teacher shortage as generally manifested throughout the 
country has appeared to show these results: first, the closing of 
schools; second, the employment of teachers with less than the 



10 COMMISSION ON TEACHERS' SALARIES. 

usual qualifications; third, a decrease in the enrollment of 
teacher-training institutions. The Teachers' Salary Commis- 
sion for Massachusetts has made an investigation of the supply 
of teachers, and the salaries and qualifications of the teachers, 
in service in all towns and cities of the Commonwealth. 
The facts disclosed by these inquiries show that very few 
schools in Massachusetts have been closed as a result of the 
teacher shortage. Indeed, on Feb. 15, 1920, only 40 teaching 
positions were vacant through lack of teachers, and in nearly 
all of these cases instruction was being provided to the pupils 
concerned, either by the use of the platoon plan or by the 
consolidation of schools and classes. 

Finding that the nature of the teacher shortage in Massa- 
chusetts was not such as to cause an appreciable closing of the 
schools, the Commission has sought to determine to what extent 
teachers are leaving the schools of Massachusetts, and whether 
the teachers employed to fill the vacancies are less well qualified 
than those who have left. Attention is called to Tables I to IV, 
showing the number and destination of teachers leaving Massa- 
chusetts schools during 1919, and the number and source of 
those employed for the first time in Massachusetts schools 
during 1919. From Table I it appears that 1,772 teachers, or 
9.2 per cent of the State's teaching force, terminated their 
employment in the schools of Massachusetts last year. Of 
these teachers, 17 per cent left to teach in other States, notably 
the other New England States and New Jersey, and 20 per 
cent left to enter other employment than teaching, chiefly 
commercial, industrial, and domestic work. It is a fair pre- 
sumption that a large majority of these two groups comprising 
664 teachers left our schools in order to accept more lucrative 
positions.

Notwithstanding the large loss of teachers in 1919 and the 
increasing difficulty experienced by superintendents of schools 
in securing new teachers, Massachusetts has been more success- 
ful than many States in recruiting teachers to fill the vacancies 
arising. As shown in Table II, enough teachers were secured 
to fill the vacancies occurring in 1919, and, in addition, to 
supply about 300 new teaching positions.

CHANGE IN TEACHING FORCE IN 1919. 



21 



Our investigations show also that the teachers employed in 
1919 for the first time in the schools of the several towns and 
cities of the State were as well qualified in respect to profes- 
sional preparation as the teachers in service at the beginning 
of 1919 or 1918. Indeed, the steady improvement in the 
educational qualifications of the teaching force that has been 
evident for a number of years does not appear to have been 
arrested. Attention is called to Tables V and VI.

24 COMMISSION ON TEACHERS' SALARIES. 

After a study of conditions in all towns and cities of the 
Commonwealth, the Commission is unable to find that there 
has been any appreciable closing of schools or lowering of the 
professional qualifications of teachers in Massachusetts. The 
relatively favorable showing for this State is in part due to the 
fact that very substantial increases in teachers' salaries have 
been made during the past few years, and particularly during 
1919. Attention is called to Tables VII and VIII, showing the 
increase in cost of living in Massachusetts during the period 
1910-20, and the average salaries of elementary and high school 
teachers for the school years 1910-11, 1915-16, and on Jan. 
1, 1920.

TEACHERS IN TRAINING. 27 

As shown by the preceding tables, the cost of living increased 
about 100 per cent from 1910 to 1920, whereas the average 
salary of elementary school teachers increased 85.1 per cent 
and that of high school teachers 50.7 per cent during the same 
period. The average salary of elementary teachers in 1920 
is $1,237.83, and that of high school teachers, $1,695.48. 
Taking into account the increased cost of living, the former is 
equivalent in value to a salary of $618.92 in 1910, or $49.80 
less than the average salary at that time, and the latter is 
equivalent in value to a salary of $847.74 in 1910, or $277.26 
less than the average at that time. It is evident that the 
increase in salaries, though very decided, has not been equiva- 
lent to the increase in cost of living. Although further 
progress must be made, the Commission is nevertheless im- 
pressed with the fact that Massachusetts, largely through the 
agency of the local communities, appears to have responded 
more promptly and more adequately than many States to meet 
the needs of the present emergency. 

Decreasing Enrollment of the State Normal Schools. 

One of the most disturbing conditions which the Commission 
has found in the course of its investigations is the decreasing 
enrollment in the State normal schools. It should be noted that 
of the 2,070 teachers employed for the first time in the schools 
of Massachusetts during 1919, as shown in Table II, only 569, 
or 27.5 per cent, came from the State normal schools, and but 
462, or 20 per cent, came from attendance at college and other 
schools in Massachusetts. Of the remainder, 604, or 29 per 
cent, came from teaching positions in other States, chiefly New 
England States; 3 per cent came from attendance at schools in 
other States; and 17 per cent from other employments than 
teaching, chiefly government service and employment at home. 
It is clear that from the standpoint of the teacher supply, the 
State is not producing a sufficient number of teachers to fill 
the vacancies annually arising. 

These facts challenge attention to the inadequacy of the 
supply of teachers coming from our State normal schools. 
Indeed, since 1917 there has been a marked decrease in the 
enrollment, amounting to over 37 per cent in the number of 
men, and 27 per cent in the number of women. The schools of 



28 



COMMISSION ON TEACHERS' SALARIES. 



Massachusetts received 150 fewer teachers from the graduating 
class of 1919 than from the class of 1917. This represents a 
loss of trained teachers in one year sufficient in numbers to 
instruct all the children in the schools of the 64 smallest towns 
of the State. 

Attention is called to Tables IX and X showing the enroll- 
ment of the State normal schools for the past five years, also 
the number and present employment or state of the students 
graduated during that period. In addition to the striking 
decrease in enrollment, these tables show that about 1,300, or 
nearly one-third of the students graduated during those years, 
are not now teaching in Massachusetts schools. Of these, 
about 550 are teaching in other States, notably Connecticut, 
New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, and 
Vermont, and about 600 are engaged in other occupations than 
teaching.

TEACHERS IN TRAINING. 31 

sufficient number of trained teachers for all schools in the 125 
small towns without high schools. 

The applications for admission to the normal schools for the 
coming year indicate that the enrollment will be somewhat 
increased, and that the higher salaries now being paid are 
already having an influence in turning the attention of larger 
numbers of young women to the consideration of teaching as 
a vocation. If, however, the vacancies annually arising in the 
elementary schools of Massachusetts were to be supplied largely 
from the Massachusetts State normal schools, it would be 
necessary for these schools to graduate about two and one-half 
times as many students as at present. 

Although the colleges and private training schools usually 
make a notable contribution to our teaching force, a relatively 
small number of those who graduate this year have in mind 
teaching in Massachusetts. Seventeen colleges and universities 
graduating more than 4,000 students this year report only 176 
who plan to teach in Massachusetts schools, — 16 in elementary 
schools, and 160 in high schools. The Boston Normal School 
reports 79 graduates, and five private kindergarten training 
schools report a total of 73 graduates, who plan to teach in the 
elementary schools of this State. 

It is clear from the foregoing facts that if, as in 1919, 2,000 
new teachers are required for the coming school year, the 
Massachusetts normal schools, colleges, and private training 
schools are not likely to provide more than one-half that 
number. We shall again find it necessary to secure 1,000 new 
teachers from other States and other employments than 
teaching. 

The Commission is convinced that this situation calls for a 
concerted effort on the part of the school authorities to en- 
courage young men and women of suitable personality and 
other qualifications to enter upon the work of teaching. The 
colleges, through faculty members, student advisors, and ap- 
pointments offices, should endeavor to acquaint the students 
with the large field of service and the increasing salaries offered 
in public school work. Teachers in secondary schools are in a 
peculiarly favorable position to acquaint their pupils with the 
opportunities offered in the ten State normal schools to acquire 



32 COMMISSION ON TEACHERS' SALARIES. 

both a liberal and a professional education at a minimum cost. 
Accompanied by the stimulus of increasing salaries, a conscious 
and concerted effort on the part of school teachers and officials 
in the directions above indicated will, in the judgment of the 
Commission, go far toward accomplishing the purpose. 

Deficiency of Qualified Teachers in Small Towns. 

Although Massachusetts as a State has been successful in 
maintaining the quality of its teaching force during the past 
two years, the Commission has been impressed with the very 
marked contrast between the urban and rural communities in 
respect to the proportion of qualified teachers employed. 

The cities and large towns have thus far been able to recruit 
their teaching force without an appreciable lowering of the 
customary standards of qualifications. While in many cases 
teaching experience as a prerequisite to employment has been 
abandoned, the larger communities have been able very gener- 
ally to secure new teachers with the customary educational 
training, — namely, graduation from college, normal school, or 
city training school. 

The small towns, on the other hand, have been far less 
successful in the keen competition for qualified teachers. One- 
third of all new teachers employed during the last calendar 
year in 125 small towns without high schools were graduates 
of secondary schools only, and nearly two-thirds of those in the 
50 smallest towns were no better qualified. Rating as trained 
teachers those who have graduated from college, normal school, 
or city training school, 14 rural towns in Massachusetts have 
no trained teachers, and 43 have less than half. Indeed, 36 
per cent of all teachers in the 125 towns of Group IV 1 are un- 
trained as against 20 per cent in Group III, 14 per cent in 
Group II, and 12 per cent in Group I. (Table XI.) 

It is also to be observed that less than 150 out of more than 
4,500 students graduated from the Massachusetts State normal 
schools during the past five years are teaching in the 785 one- 
teacher rural schools of Massachusetts.

In respect to teaching experience much the same contrast 
appears between the teachers in the small towns and those in 
the larger towns and cities. Attention is called to Table XII, 
which shows that over 26 per cent of the teachers in Group IV 1 
had less than one year of teaching experience prior to Sept. 
1, 1919, as against 18 per cent in Group III, 6 per cent in 
Group II, and 3 per cent in Group I.

Excessive Change in the Peksonnel of the Teaching 
Force in the Small Towns. 
Not only do the schools of the small towns sustain a loss 
because of the lack of qualified teachers, but they are also 
seriously handicapped by the excessive change in the personnel 
of the teaching force. In 1919 the schools of Massachusetts 
sustained a loss of over 1,700 teachers. The Commission finds 
that a disproportionate part of this loss fell upon the small 
towns. These towns lose relatively more teachers than do the 
larger towns to the schools of other States and to other em- 
ployments than teaching, and, in addition, they lose many 
teachers to the higher salaried positions in the urban schools 
within this State. Attention is called to Table XIII showing 
the extent of change in the personnel of the teaching force of the 
several groups of cities and towns during 1919.

It is evident that the change in personnel of the teaching 
force in the small towns of Group IV * in 1919 was over four 
times that occurring in the cities and twice that in the large 
towns. This situation is further revealed in Table XIV, 
showing for the several groups of cities and towns the propor- 
tion of teachers who have served for varying periods of tenure 
in the municipalities where now employed. The teachers who 
began work in their present positions after Sept. 1, 1919, or 
had completed less than one year previous to that date, com- 
prise over 47 per cent of the teaching force in the towns of 
Group IV; 37 per cent in the towns of Group III; 24 per cent 
in the towns of Group II; and only 11 per cent in the cities of 
Group I. When the rural schools are thus called upon to 
serve as training stations for the teachers in urban communities, 
it is clear that the effectiveness and the continuity of the work 
in the rural schools must suffer materially.

Leveling up of Teachers' Salaries — A Manifest Need. 

Although town and city life present strong attractions to 
many teachers, the most potent cause for the failure of the 
smaller towns to secure and retain their relative quota of 
qualified teachers is to be found in the low salaries there paid. 
Table XV clearly shows the striking difference between the 
average salary of teachers in the smaller towns and in the 
larger towns and cities.

Even allowing for the greater cost of living in urban com- 
munities (see page 126), it is evident that the salaries of city 
teachers are nearly twice those of rural teachers. Further- 
more, since 1910 the difference between the average salary of 
the city teacher and that of the teacher in towns of Group IV 
has increased from $490 to $728; and during the last financial 
year the increases in teachers' salaries granted by the cities 
were about double those granted in the rural towns. The 
divergence, therefore, seems to be increasing rather than 
decreasing. Indeed, many of the small towns find themselves 
so handicapped with low valuation and scattered population 
that the burden of paying the higher salaries necessary to 
secure and retain trained teachers for all their schools becomes 
excessive. 

Recommendations. 

The Commission believes that any legislation dealing with 
the subject placed before it should seek to set higher minimum 
salaries, and to extend the operation of the principle already 
adopted with reference to the equalization of the burden of 
school support. This legislation should aim in the direction of 
providing for all schools, whether urban or rural, a certain high 
level of teaching service. Without a larger measure of State 
support this level of service cannot be attained. Having this pur- 
pose in view, the following recommendations * are submitted : — 

1. That chapter 197 of the General Acts of 1918, an act to 
establish a minimum salary for certain school teachers, be so 



1 For acts embodying the legislative proposals see page 158. 



40 



COMMISSION ON TEACHERS' SALARIES. 



amended that the minimum legal salary shall be raised from 
$550 to not less than $800, and that the exemption of towns 
having less than $1,000,000 valuation from the operation of this 
law be removed. Investigation shows that about 1,450, or 8 
per cent, of the teachers of the entire State are now receiving 
less than $800. 

2. That chapter 363 of the General Acts of 1919 be amended 
as follows: (a) so that the minimum salaries stipulated in the 
act, namely, $650, $750, and $850, be raised to not less than 
$800, $900, and $1,000, respectively, and that the State aid the 
local communities in meeting these higher salaries by increasing 
the reimbursements provided for in the aforesaid act from $100, 
$150, and $200 per teacher to not less than $250, $300, and 
$350, respectively; and (b) so that salaries up to $1,000 instead 
of $850, as at present, be included in computing the assured 
minimum under Part II, section 10. 

The aforesaid chapter 363 has not been in operation a suffi- 
cient length of time to demonstrate its full benefits, as the 
first disbursement under the act was made before many of the 
small towns could adjust teachers' salaries in such a way as to 
entitle them to full reimbursement. The results of the first 
disbursement, however, show that the act is already operating 
in a helpful way, particularly to the rural towns of low valua- 
tion. Attention is called to Table XVI.

HIGHER SALARIES NECESSARY. 41 

As a result of the general upward movement in teachers' 
salaries, and the assistance given by the State to rural towns, 
hardly more than 2,000 teachers in Massachusetts are now 
receiving less than $850 per year, whereas two years ago, 
nearly 2,000 teachers were receiving less than $550. The 
Commission is convinced, however, that much more progress 
must be made in this direction. The diminishing enrollment 
in the State normal schools, the small proportion of college 
graduates who enter teaching, and the failure of the smaller 
towns to secure a sufficient number of qualified teachers and to 
retain qualified teachers for a reasonable tenure, are conditions 
that call for further attention and more effective remedy. 
Although the circumstances under which some teachers work 
may have a bearing upon these conditions, the fundamental 
cause is economic. The tangible rewards of teaching have been 
too low. 

The salaries paid have not afforded adequate recognition of 
investments in time and money which teachers make to secure 
the necessary preparation for teaching. After completing the 
secondary school, the typical elementary school teacher devotes 
two years to further study, and the typical high school teacher 
four years. The expenses incidental to this special prepara- 
tion, plus the income that might have been derived from 
employment during this period, constitute a substantial sum. 
In addition to these initial expenses for preparation the 
ambitious teacher continues during her teaching career to make 
substantial outlays for professional reading and professional 
improvement courses. In appraising the adequacy of the 
teacher's wage as compared with the wages earned in other 
employments, it is necessary to take into consideration these 
special investments which the teacher makes for professional 
preparation and improvement in service. 

The Commission has not undertaken to determine in exact 
terms what salaries shall be paid to teachers in Massachusetts. 
Indeed, the wide variety of conditions presented by local 
communities, and the uncertainty of the general economic 
situation, would heavily discount the value of such an under- 
taking. The Commission believes that it is rendering more 
effective assistance to school officials and teachers by exhibiting 



42 COMMISSION ON TEACHERS' SALARIES. 

in the statistical section of its report the salaries paid at the 
beginning of this year by all towns and cities of the State and 
by certain communities outside the State, and by showing the 
notable progress that has been made during the past ten years. 
In general, the Commission is convinced that if Massachusetts 
is to realize the largest returns from its investment in education, 
salaries of teachers in the public schools must continue to 
increase, so as to accomplish the following purposes: first, to 
attract into the teaching profession capable young men and 
women in sufficient numbers to supply all vacancies with well- 
qualified teachers; second, to retain efficient teachers now in 
service; third, to guarantee that communities of low valuation 
as well as those of high valuation shall be able to secure and 
retain well-qualified teachers; and fourth, to enable all teachers to 
provide from salary earnings the necessaries of life, and savings 
and insurance against disability and old age, as well as to make 
those investments that result in continued growth in profes- 
sional efficiency.

I. Salaries and Qualifications of Teachers and Related 

Information. 
Explanation of Tekms. 

The following table, pages 50 to 105, contains information relative to 
the salaries and qualifications of teachers and certain other conditions 
affecting the employment of teachers in the several towns and cities of 
the Commonwealth. Unless otherwise stated, the data given were derived 
from an inquiry sent to the superintendents of schools of the 354 towns 
and cities Feb. 10, 1920. The information thus secured is given as of 
Jan. 1, 1920. 

An index to the table is found on pages 48 and 49. The cities and towns 
are divided into four groups and arranged within each group in the order 
of population, as follows : — 

Index Numbers 

Group I. Cities . . . 1-38 

Group II. Towns of 5,000 population or over ..... 39-113 
Group III. Towns of less than 5,000 population and maintaining public 

high schools 114-229 

Group IV. Towns of less than 5,000 population and not maintaining 

public high schools . . . . . . . 230-354 

Unless otherwise indicated, the word "teacher" as used in this table 
includes principals and full-time teachers in the public day schools. 
Part-time teachers are not included. "Elementary schools" as used in 
this table includes kindergartens, grades 1 to 8 or 9, and junior high 
schools. "N.d." indicates that no data were supplied. 

The table gives 80 items of information for the cities in Group I. It 
has been necessary to omit a number of these items for the towns in 
Groups II, III, and IV; but each item retains throughout the table the 
same number in the column heading. The table contains the following 
data : — 

Column 

Number Title and Explanation 

1. Population, State census of 1915. 

2. Valuation, as of April 1, 1919. This is obtained from Pub- 

lic Document No. 19, Part 1, and does not include sup- 
plementary assessments made between the 10th and 20th 
of December, 1919, on property as of April 1, 1919. 

3. Valuation (1918) per pupil, 1918-19. This figure is taken 

from the eighty-third Annual Report of the Department 
of Education. It is based on the net average membership 
of the public day schools for the year ending June 30, 
1919, and on the valuation of April 1, 1918, including 
December assessments. This item is the best single index 
available of the financial ability of a city or town to 
support good schools. 

4. School tax per $1,000 valuation, city fiscal year next pre- 

ceding June 30, 1919. This figure is taken from the 



46 COMMISSION ON TEACHERS' SALARIES. 

Column 
Number 

eighty-third Annual Report of the Department of Edu- 
cation, and represents the amount of money raised from 
local taxation for the support of schools for each $1,000 
valuation. When applied to towns the figure is for the 
fiscal year ending Dec. 31, 1918.. This item is the best 
single index available of the financial effort made by a 
city or town to support good schools. 
5. Expenditures for teachers' salaries, 1919, per $1,000 valu- 
ation, 1919. This figure is the total amount expended for 
salaries of principals and full-time teachers for the cal- 
endar year 1919 per thousand dollars of valuation (April 
1, 1919, without December assessments). It is obviously 
impossible to determine what proportion of the school 
tax is devoted to salaries by comparing columns 4 and 5, 
inasmuch as column 4 applies to 1918 and column 5 to 
1919. Column 5, however, shows the relative expendi- 
tures of the several cities and towns of the State for 
teachers' salaries during 1919. 
6-9. Number of teachers in elementary schools and high schools, 
men and women. 

10-17. Comparison of the average salaries of teachers, 1910-11, 
1915-16, and Jan. 1, 1920. Salaries of directors and 
teachers of special subjects are not included. 

10, 14. Average salaries of teachers, 1910-11. This information 
was secured by averaging salaries reported to the State 
Board of Education for the school year 1910-11 and 
published in the Seventy-fifth Report of the Board. 

11. 15. Average salaries of teachers, 1915-16. This information 

was secured by averaging the salaries reported to the 
State Board of Education for the school year 1915-16 
and published in bulletin of the Board, No. 1, 1917. 

12. 16. Average salaries of teachers, Jan. 1, 1920. This informa- 

tion was secured by averaging the salaries reported to the 
State Department of Education as of Jan. 1, 1920. 

13. 17. Per cent increase Jan. 1, 1920, over 1910-11. 

18-21. Average salaries of teachers, Jan. 1, 1920, showing salaries 
of men and women separately. 

22-59. Salaries paid in certain positions, Jan. 1, 1920. Wherever 
practicable, the lowest, median, and highest salaries paid 
in the several positions have been given. The median 
salary is the mid-most salary when the salaries are ar- 
ranged in ascending or descending order. In case there 
is an even number of salaries, the median is secured by 
averaging the two mid-most salaries in the series. 
22. Salaries of superintendents of schools. The salary of a 
superintendent of schools serving a union of towns is 
indicated by (U).

23-28. Salaries of principals of elementary schools. In this table 
those persons devoting at least one-half their time to the 
work of supervision and administration have been clas- 
sified as principals, and those devoting all or more than 
half their time to class-room instruction have been clas- 
sified as teachers. 

29-31. Salaries of teachers and assistants in kindergartens. 

32-40. Salaries of women in elementary schools. When towns and 
cities make a differentiation between the salaries paid in 
grades 1 to 6 and those paid in grades 7 to 9, such differ- 
entiation is shown in columns 32 to 37. 
41. Salaries of principals of high schools. The principal of a 
high school has been listed in each case as principal, re- 
gardless of the relative amount of time spent in teaching 
and supervision. 

42-47. Salaries of heads of departments in high schools. All teach- 
ers having supervisory powers, except the principal, have 
been included under heads of departments. 

48-53. Salaries of teachers in high schools. All teachers not having 
supervisory powers have been classified as teachers. 

54-59. Salaries of directors and teachers of special subjects. 
Under this heading are included salaries of persons who 
direct the teaching of or who teach such special subjects 
as the following: music, drawing, manual training, 
domestic science, and physical training.

SUMMARY TABLE OF SALARIES. 



123 



IV. Summaey Table of Salaries paid to Teachers, Jan. 
1, 1920, showing the medians, arithmetical averages, 
and Upper and Lower Quartiles. 

[Explanation of Terms. — The median is the midmost salary in any group when the salaries 
are listed in ascending or descending order. When the group under consideration contains an 
even number of salaries thus listed, the median is found by averaging the two midmost salaries. 

The upper quartile is found midway between the median and the highest salary, and the 
lower quartile is found midway between the median and the lowest salary in the group. 

The arithmetical average is the term in common use, and is obtained by dividing the sum of 
all salaries in a group by the number of salaries. 

For a definition of the several groups of cities and towns, see footnote on page 12.]

The following excerpts from the rules of the Boston school 
committee relate to the system of promotion: — 



Promotional Examinations. 
Sect. 325. 1. Two promotional examinations shall be held each year, 
one in December and one in May, for the purpose of determining the 
efficiency of teachers in the service. These examinations shall consist 
of two parts: (1) Success in the school during the preceding year; (2) 
professional and academic study. Satisfactory pursuit of a college course 
or .courses approved by the board of superintendents, or of a course or 
courses authorized by and conducted under the direction of the board of 
superintendents, or of other courses approved by the board of superin- 
tendents, may be accepted by said board at its discretion as a substitute 
for a part of the professional and academic examination. 

2. All teachers, except principals and members of the supervising 
staff, whose compensation is on a sliding scale, with a fixed increase 
for each successive year of service, must pass a first promotional exam- 
ination before the second anniversary of the date of the beginning of 
their service. 

3. Teachers who successfully pass the first promotional examination 
that next precedes the second anniversary of the beginning of their 



METHODS OF PROMOTION ON SCHEDULE. 137 

service shall be advanced in salary in accordance with their respective 
salary schedules until the maximum of their rank is reached, subject 
to the provisions of the regulations governing second promotional ex- 
aminations. 

4. Teachers who fail to pass successfully a first promotional examina- 
tion shall remain on that year of their respective salary schedules on 
which they were prior to the second anniversary of the date of the be- 
ginning of their service for another year, and shall then be re-examined. 
If they then successfully pass the examination, they shall be advanced to 
the next year of their respective schedules, and succeeding anniversaries 
shall be reckoned from the date of such examination. The employment 
of teachers who fail to pass successfully a first promotional examination 
on two successive occasions shall terminate on the last day of August 
or on the last day of January, whichever date next follows the second 
examination.

tions of not less than 30 program hours will be accepted for the 
same salary rating as summer school courses.

increases may be obtained also by taking university extension 
courses and normal school and college correspondence courses. 
Such courses will be credited in a manner similar to courses at 
summer school. 

Reading Courses. — The reading of four professional books, 
two of which must relate directly to the classroom work of the 
teacher, together with an examination upon each, will be accepted

ship holding acceptable certificates as qualified teachers of 
writing will be given a permanent advance of $50 in salary 
beyond their regular schedule standing.

tion at the teacher's request, and may be recognized by an 
increase in salary.

tendent of schools for all courses to be pursued with the expec- 
tation of an increase in salary must be obtained before the

(6) To cities having population of less than 1,000,000, $550. 

(c) To cities having population of over 50,000, $450. 

(d) To other cities with a population of less than 50,000, $350. 

(e) To union free school districts maintaining academic departments and 

not located in the cities of the foregoing classes, $300. 

(/) To other school districts employing more than one teacher, $250. 

(g) To other school districts employing but one teacher and having a 
valuation of over $100,000, $200. 

(h) To each other school district employing but one teacher and having 
an assessed valuation of $100,000 or less, $200, and in addition 
thereto $2 for each entire thousand dollars that the assessed valua- 
tion of such district is less than $100,000. 

The law also establishes minimum salary schedules for teachers 
in the several classes of cities and school districts, becoming 
operative Aug. 1, 1920, as follows (see Table on page 156): —

MINIMUM SALARY LAWS. 



157 



Ohio. 

The last General Assembly of Ohio enacted a law that provides 
for the levying of an annual tax of 1 1-10 mills on the grand 
list of taxable property of the State, the proceeds of which are 
to constitute the State common school fund, and an additional 
tax of 1 mill, the proceeds of which are to be contained in the 
several counties for the support of schools therein. 

It is further provided that 373^2 per cent of the salary of each 
teacher receiving not less than $800 shall be paid from the two 
aforesaid sources, the maximum amount receivable on account 
of each teacher by this provision being $900. As no aid under 
the provisions of this act is granted to the school districts on 
account of teachers receiving less than $800, this law establishes 
$800 as the effective minimum salary. 



Indiana. 

Indiana has recently enacted a law establishing a minimum 
legal salary of $800 for each teacher, and in addition thereto 
requiring the payment of larger salaries to teachers having 
certain qualifications. The application of this Indiana law is 
well illustrated by the following minimum salary schedule 
adopted in Putnam County: — 



Class A, beginning teachers, . 

Class B, 1 year of experience, 

Class C, 3 or more years of experience, . 

Class D, 5 or more years of experience, . 

Class E, teachers exempt from examination, 1

1 That is, normal school graduates with two or more years' successful teaching experience, 
and teachers without normal school training who had successful teaching experience previous 
to 1908.

(1) Salaries paid during that year to principals and full-time 
teachers, not including any amounts by which any such salary

hundred and twenty-one.
